Colt 1847 Walker Black Powder Revolver
|
|
|
This big,
powerful .44 caliber
black powder revolver
is the famous magnum
developed with the
help of Captain
Samuel Walker of the
United States Mounted
Rifles. It saw
extensive service in
the Mexican War. The
largest of all Colt
revolvers and
authentically
reproduced, it
weights a mighty 4
pounds, 8 ounces, has
an overall length of
15-3/4 inches, with a
9-inch precision
rifled barrel. This
is a six shot
revolver with
handsomely engraved
cylinder and barrel
marked "U.S. 1847."
In this day of modern
handguns, this is
still one of the most
powerful revolvers
ever made.
The Mexican War was
the reason which led
again to arms
manufacture after the
financial setback
which followed the
company's first
production of
Paterson revolvers.
Urged by a Government
request for one
thousand pieces and
following Captain
Samuel Walker's
advice, this weapon
was patented, the
biggest handgun ever
made. The gun was
then bound to arm
some of the Texas
Rangers who engaged
in the the Mexican
War. Lt. Col. George
A. Caldwell later
said, "Two years'
experience in Mexico
enables me to speak
with confidence of
the value of Colt's
revolvers. Those who
had them there could
not be induced to
part with them at any
price."
